Perfumer: Nicolas Beaulieu
Conjuring the complexity of iced absinthe where the balance of heady wormwood and fresh ozonic greenery surrounds violet leaf for a seductive euphoric tone. This is set against a dark aromatic base that is smooth and warming. The head-turning diffusion of sweetened leathers and earthy woods offers a contemporary enticing edge.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The room is warm from movement, but the fragrance brings a flash of iced green bitterness. As conversation draws closer, smooth leather replaces that initial chill. ABSINTHE suits the charged, physical rhythm of a crowded night, with enough aromatic clarity to keep its sensuality from feeling heavy.
How to wear
Cool to mild weather gives the contrast between green freshness and warm leather room to unfold. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing: the described diffusion suggests restraint in close quarters. In a heated room, keep the dose light so the leather and woods do not overwhelm the cooler violet-leaf character.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to bitter greens, violet leaf and supple leather rather than sugary interpretations of absinthe. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy an aromatic fragrance with a crisp surface, an earthy foundation and a warmer, more sensual undertone.

The nose
Nicolas Beaulieu is a perfumer at IFF whose work spans niche and designer fragrances. His compositions often explore contrasts between luminous freshness and deeper, textured materials. In ABSINTHE, that tension takes the form of cool wormwood and violet leaf against warm leather and earthy woods.
Headspace’s story
HEADSPACE translates fleeting experiences into perfume through headspace analysis, olfactory reconstruction and the perfumer’s imagination. Founded by Nicolas Chabot, the house combines natural and synthetic materials to connect scientific precision with poetic expression, naming each fragrance after the material that embodies its captured moment.
ABSINTHE’s concept
ABSINTHE takes its cue from bodies moving in a nightclub: warm skin, close contact and the exhilaration of a night stretching into morning. Its creative brief, “Bodies in motion,” becomes a contrast between the cool green bite of wormwood and the warmth of leather, narcissus and patchouli, rather than a literal recreation of the drink.
Extra info
Wormwood is ABSINTHE’s emblematic ingredient, but its subject is bodily movement rather than the drink alone. The brand lists its natural-origin content as 91.86%. Its bottle belongs to Jules Dinand’s laboratory-vial-inspired design for HEADSPACE, with a minimalist paper label and black Bakelite cap.
